Czech EU presidency concerned about fate of journalist in Iran

The European Union's Czech presidency has voiced serious concern about espionage charges leveled against US-Iranian journalist Roxana Sabery in Iran. The Czech EU presidency called on Teheran to respect human rights and honour all international human rights treaties ratified by the country. It emerged on Wednesday that Sabery who has been detained in a notorious Teheran prison since January, has been charged with spying. She was initially reported to have been detained for illegally buying alcohol.
